Printing Cheques from Payable Charge Accounts and Automate Transactions Merged

We are having an issue where amounts are to be recorded into accounts payable and then approved to be paid before cheques can be printed. We are looking for a way to print a cheque based on the payables entries and include multiple payables on that one cheque. It would also be nice if when you chose the payables and printed a cheque it automatically made the entry clear the payable to the bank, this automation would save time and mistakes.
